My story

Derby is sweet-natured and easygoing—perfect for cuddling up after a fun day of adventure. He’s doing wonderfully with potty training and happily trots outside by your side (especially if treats are involved!). At night, Derby sleeps peacefully in his kennel and greets you in the morning with happy tail wags and soft puppy kisses. Derby made the long trip from Alabama to Minnesota with his six siblings and is now ready to find a forever home of his own. He loves everyone he meets—people, dogs, even cats—but his absolute favorite thing? Cuddling. Whether it's in your lap or curled up beside you, Derby is happiest when he's close to his humans. He’s calm, mild-mannered, and full of love to give. Derby enjoys playtime but is just as content relaxing and soaking up snuggles. He'll be ready to go home in mid-August and would make a wonderful addition to a family who values quiet moments, unconditional love, and a little puppy warmth. If you're looking for a loyal, gentle companion to share life’s cozy moments with, Derby would love to meet you.   Ready for adoption: Mid-August  Great with dogs, cats, and all people  Loves cuddles, naps, and quiet time Apply today and make Derby part of your family!      Derby will be neutered in mid August  August 10, 2025, 9:20 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Derby, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
